Rush Limbaugh (I don't know if you know who that is) remarked the other day about the problem with conservative institutions. The drift is naturally towards liberalism, because that takes no effort just entropy, whereas conservatism requires eternal vigilance to maintain an institution as conservative.

Question a friend, perhaps he did not do it; but if he did anything so that he may do it no more.A hasty quarrel kindles fire,and urgent strife sheds blood.If you blow on a spark, it will glow;if you spit on it, it will be put out; and both come out of your mouth

yeah..But don't read too much into the term "Conservative". They are not part of the "Reform Movement" which is a whole other kettle of fish and has more to do with how services are conducted and who can serve in authority etc. Conservative congregations are often very liberal. I have a Gay relative who has attended a Conservative Temple for many years.

If Orthodox Jews allow Gay marriage then head for an inner room in your basement and get under a strong table for when the winds pick up.

Dorff said he did not know how many members of the movement's Rabbinical Assembly perform same-sex marriages. However, many rabbis had already been conducting ceremonies for gays and lesbians that they had developed on their own. Keshet, which advocates for gay and lesbian Jews, has started a public database of rabbis who would perform the ceremony called The Equality Guide.

I suppose it’s good to have standardized guidelines. My wife has a Jewish-convert acquaintance whose same-sex marriage was performed by a Conservative rabbi. I guess he/she was winging it?

Blessed Nazarius practiced the ascetic life. His clothes were tattered. He wore his shoes without removing them for six years.

Agreed. The moon will be blood, and the locusts will come.

Start heading to the basement then, there was a Modern Orthodox rabbi (though there are many rabbis who dispute his claim to be a rabbi) who a couple years ago ('09 maybe?) performed some sort of gay wedding ceremony.

EDIT: I'll see later if I can find the article.

That would be different from the an official statement from an Orthodox Governing Body sanctioning Gay marriages. There are always rouge clergy in every group. So maybe there was just a small ground tremor or a tornado or two..

LOL - it's "flee to the mountains".

I don't have a basement Under 10 inches of this Texas dirt, is solid limestone.

This is just one of the many reasons why I left the faith of Judaism a few months ago. I guess soon it might be hello Islam for me a Jew turned Moslem has an odd ring to it but might just have to do for now

Sounds like "from the ditch to the duck pond" situation to me.

At least you have mountains. My country is one giant corn field. We'll be safe until harvest.

Do not be cast down over the struggle - the Lord loves a brave warrior. The Lord loves the soul that is valiant.

We all should, as it shows the continuing deterioration and downward spiral of faith, morals, and values in this country (the U.S.A.), afflicting and affecting all of us, all segments of society. Yes, we are our brother's keeper.

You're right. I recant.

Obviously I do. Every one here posts topics they feel are important. Whether or not others do remains to be seen.

I don't see why you see the need to gloat about it all the time, though.

What does he gloat about, exactly? Being gay? I've never seen a post from him that I interpreted as gloating, that was related to his homosexuality. When someone mentions their impending marriage, current marriage, or former marriage, do you see it as gloating about their heterosexuality? It's not like Tallitot posts nude pictures of him and his partner.

How is he rubbing anything in, just because he posts a story that got his interest? Isn't that what most of the stories in the Christian News forum are, stories that got someone's interest? It isn't like he's said "Ha ha ha! You Orthodox will one day fall to this too!"
